    Very unexciting sequence. I must have seven of these Tommy Davises. Usually they are better centered.

    Card 20. Pretty darn sharp.

    Not bad. I recognize this part of the sequence. The dreaded two no-name Indians sequence.

    And rounding out the 2nd 11. Next one is the Money sequence. Will probably save for tomorrow.

    I am not sure that anything good is in that cello. John? But I will say that psa 9 is the way to go when ripping 1970 cellos.

    Not as weird as those cards like the '69 Tommy John where he's completed his throw yet the ball is still in his glove.

    He's not fielding a grounder, he's preparing for his annual physical.

    Let's put it this way, that pack very easily could have had a '70 Bench on the back and '73 Mays on the front.

    Wow, if the sequence lines up that's probably the weakest pack there is out there (Unless you are a Ray Oyler fan).

    An inauspicious start to the last sequence.

    Definitely not the worst 1970 Catfish in my collection. Not bad at all.

    Don't worry, it has time to change the centering still. Ye of little faith.

    I know!! I did a really crappy job in picking up the sequence when it moved off the sheet.

    Goes to show you not a exact science as the sequence jumped from Catfish to the red sox team card. If it held true the next card would have been a Cubs pitcher (card under the red sox's on uncut sheet)

  • My average rip is about 2 minutes. Max. Mirrors my stamina elsewhere ...
  • NikklosNikklos Posts: 1,411 ✭✭✭
    It took every bit of intestinal fortitude I could muster to walk away from those five cards this morning and leave the house.

    It will all be over tonight, I promise!

    I have found that taking a pic of the card and posting it on the board has the same effect as thinking about box scores!

    I'm looking forward to a rip that reveals one card per year. So who wants to step up to this level of patience?

    Uh oh - is the possibility of a Rose in jeopardy?? I will take comfort in that I have never seen a Ruiz without a Rose before it.

    I doubt highly that Rose is any jeopardy but at a minimum you got a 25% shot, not 2.3%.

    I never promised you a Rose garden.

    Maybe she ran away because you shoved things up your nose and wore silly looking hats.

    OK the people have spoken. Without further adieu...

    Huh? Another much less-nicer Ted Savage.

    Something appears to be amiss...

    Also there are 34 cards in this pack. Showed 30. 4 left in the stack.

    Sharp Rose, if a bit OC. T/B centering is perfect, too. How much does a 9ocbox command?
